Did it occur to you that this event may have saved Portugal from the secularism that spread across the rest of Europe. United under one strong Catholic leader Portugal saw a golden age of Catholicism under Salazar. It may have been the highest point of Portuguese history. I urge you to learn some Portuguese if you're going to want to read about it.
In the mean time, I was born in Portugal, so I don't have to learn it.
The earliest recorded account of the "miracle" was given by a reporter allegedly present at the event who didn't see anything, but got a few reports of people seeing something... A few... out of hundreds who were expecting something.
You'd do well to learn about psychology and how bias works.
Also, Salazar kept this country in the dark ages while the rest of the world was advancing the 20th century. There's a mentality delay of some 40 years thanks to him.
There's also the spectre of "communists eat babies for breakfast" still lurking in this people due to all the propaganda that regime instilled into us. In other countries, atheists ate babies... It's like they all learn their propaganda techniques from each other... And apply it to their perceived enemies.
The highest point of Portuguese history was a few centuries earlier... When slavery was ok. :p
Do you STILL live in Portugal?

In that case, you'd do well to avoid the Internet. It's full of evils like information and uses modern technologies.
The internet also has its uses in connecting faithful traditional Catholics together previously not possible. It also allows us to share our material and the teachings of the Catholic Church undefiled by modernist heresy. It is a two edged sword, but one that is useful to employ.

Do you STILL live in Portugal? Please go back into your hole where you are considered an "elder" and some want you to be president. You are still delusional, your deity is a fantasy and you still exhibit your grandeur delusion. Now go, go, go! You are no longer entertaining. For site monitors, please forgive my outburst.

1. No
2. I attended a Novus Ordo School and later a conservative Catholic university.
3. There has never been a molester in the SSPX chapels. The Novus Ordo church has previously admitted sodomites, we do not suffer them.
4. No.
5. A rejection of immorality is not quite the same as an obsession with sex.

I am a Traditional Catholic and member of the Society of Saint Pius X, a priestly fraternity dedicated to preserving the fullness of truth abandoned by the new heretical protestant Church based in Rome masquerading as the Catholic Faith.
The basics of our activities and history can be found here for anyone interested http://sspx.org/en/about/history
If anyone has any questions, I would be more than happy to answer them. You posted a link. Do they know what you are doing?

I have no idea. It is not a new thing for us to join other sites to share the Gospel, in fact it is rather common.

I cannot imagine they would find anything I have posted objectionable.
